Fun story my history teacher told us: his grandfather during the industrial revolution walked past a flyer which said “looking for smart strong boys” so he went into the factory, said “i’m strong and smart”, and he had that job from age 13 to 78
and this is why they expect the younger generation to simply “get a job” ahh it’s so much clearer now
Here’s another fun story: My boss decided to slap my work phone number on all the ads we post looking for newspaper carriers. So I receive a bunch of calls from people looking for jobs. Working only part time, I’m not usually there when they call, so they have to leave a message and I take their info to pass on to my boss. Sometimes it can be weeks before my boss calls any of these applicants back, if at all. How the callers respond to not getting a callback varies. Most don’t do anything, but some call again. If the person sounds young, they may leave another message clarifying their qualifications and reaffirming their interest. If the person is old, and I can always hear it in their voice, they respond by getting mad, threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription, and occasionally swearing. The older generation is used to getting a callback, and an immediate one, so they throw a tantrum when they don’t get what they want.
And everyone calls Millennials entitled.
Mind. Blown.
This is great info, but the way the headline is phrased made it sound like they got the job of being a grandfather by walking right up and just asking
Older generations also started out in the shittiest of shit positions, but quickly moved up if they proved themselves and worked HARD.
So when a boomer or older sees a “whiny millennial crying about how they want $15/hour for flipping burgers” it’s because they think it’s still that easy to get recognized for doing a great job, so it must be the millennial’s fault for not trying hard enough to get noticed and move up the ladder.
Older generations don’t realize employers now don’t give a shit about the people working for them, don’t recognize when someone is a valued employee, don’t move them up in the company, and don’t increase pay based on work performance.
Employers now are too focused on keeping the hours per employee down so they don’t have to give them insurance and forcing them to work as hard as possible while also paying them next to nothing.
This is NOT how it used to be, and once a boomer or older really realizes this, they get super pissed at what has happened to the workplace these days. I’ve seen it happen with my parents and grandparents. My uncle didn’t realize it until he got a job at Walmart that lasted for two months because he couldn’t take it anymore and didn’t move up the ladder.
My grandfather was a really good businessman back in the day, and when I laid it all out for him, he was livid and said “that’s NOT how you get good employees. You get good employees by treating them like a human being, paying them what they’re worth, and pushing them to do better by following through on promises you’ve made to reward them for that good behavior and showing that you’re worthy of their respect and hard work by working hard yourself.”
The more the media and capitalism corrupts everyone, the more we take sides, the less we empathize with each other. It’s not as much a baby boomer problem as it is a corruption problem and lies being shoved down everyone’s throats, separating everyone to the point where they hate each other.
I was asked a few times for some more Ganondorf headcanons so, here’s a really quick profile doodle to go with them! <:
- This incarnation of Ganondorf is in his late twenties/early 30s. For a half-blood, he’s fairly large, about 7′8 in height with the broadness to match. He a BICC BOI
-Ganondorf’s non-Gerudo parent is a Goron, which could attribute to why he’s larger than what’s typical of a half-blood Gerudo. He takes quite a bit after both of his parents: he has his Ma’s temper, strength, and impulsiveness but his Da’s gentle, protective nature. While we’re talkin’ about family, I’m honestly considering making Urbosa his aunt, but I’m not entirely set on that idea yet.
-For those of you who don’t know, apparently Demise is the first incarnation of the villainy that the world of Hyrule had faced, a literal demon. When it was defeated, it vowed vengeance and that it’s hatred would continue on to exist even if its physical form was lost, and that’s exactly what happened: Ganon was born out of that Malice. With that context, what I’d like to think is that Ganon is not the literal embodiment of this unfiltered hatred, but instead the vessel chosen to house it. What I’m sayin’ is that Ganondorf, as a baby, is possessed by this entity, forced into the destiny in which he will continue to reincarnate for the purpose of wrecking havoc upon the land that has vanquished the evil that has its hold on his soul.
-To continue with the above context, the reason this Ganondorf isn’t evil is because, during the BotW events, the Malice had relinquished its hold on Ganon’s soul, giving up reincarnation in exchange for absolute raw power in a last ditch effort to purge of the heroes going against it. As we all know, it ultimately failed, and without its hold on its vessel and being too weak to reclaim it, the majority of the Malice is entirely destroyed. Hyrule, essentially, is now free from Demise’s Malice, and in that same breath Ganon, when he is reincarnated, is finally allowed to be born as a normal Gerudo. Mostly.
-Ganondorf may be free from the hold of Malice but it’s left a permanent mark on his soul and forever will. This mark is physically represented in a birthmark in the shape of the scar Demise gained when it was slain by the goddesses: a huge gash-like marking over the chest. The mark is more than physical too: Ganondorf is often plagued by nightmares of past-lives he isn’t fully aware he’s lived, visions of the atrocities he’s committed as a puppet to Demise’s control. Sometimes the birthmark bothers him, giving him a faint burning sensation as if he had singed himself: the echoes of the mortal blow Demise felt when struck down. I’d imagine he’d be quite troubled by this, maybe to the point of seeking out answers as to why he’s being plagued like so. Could be the reason why he meets Link in the first place in this timeline, perhaps?
-While I mentioned Ganon was the current Champion of the Gerudo in my previous post I think I’m gonna retcon it for this idea instead: Ganondorf didn’t live with the Gerudo, nor the Goron. Though his parents did visit their home villages often to better expose their son to their respective cultures, they lived in relative solitude in a beautiful oasis, where Ganon lived most of his young life quite happily (despite the ailments described above). It’s only as an adult that he finally grows tired of suffering these strange afflictions and decides to set off for answers.
-All Gerudo, even the half-blooded ones, have the ability to transform into huge pig-like creatures that are often called a Boartusk. While in this beastial form the individual still retains their intelligence, though they are more prone to impulse and more sensitive to their emotions than normal. This form grants colossus strength and stronger resilience against injury thanks to their tough hide and thick manes. Their tusks are strong but, if broken, can grow back. There’s only so many times the tusks can break before they simply stop growing back though.
The Boartusk above is Ganondorf’s beastial form. He really enjoys taking this shape and often will any chance he gets, especially if it’s in wide open areas: wide space allows him to gallop and tear across the fields without worry of hurting someone in the process.

And there we have it! Some Good!Ganondorf headcanons for ya’ll. If ya have any questions you’re more than free to ask uwu
Just a quick sneak peek of sorts to show off who will be next for some headcanoning! Urbosa’s headcanon is tied with Ganondorf’s, so expect some stuff about their dynamic as well as her role as chief of the Gerudo real soon! <:
In the meantime, if you’d like a quick refresher on some of Ganon’s headcanon and the Gerudo as a whole, check out the post HERE!
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
